Understanding Your Right to Bear Arms

by Michael A. Sommers, Nathaniel Cross

Overview

The second amendment of the Constitution has been vigorously debated ever since it was first penned. Are firearms necessary for the preservation of freedom or is the second amendment an antiquated law that has no place in today’s America? This book addresses the legal and moral arguments for and against the right to bear arms, while putting the amendment in context by studying the history of its purpose, inception, and evolution.
